orfew Pillar of the Community Canada 1269 Posts	Posted 06/14/2019 4:21 pm Several nice and scarce Flavian denarii have popped up in the last day or so on Vcoins. the seller was Germania Inferior Numismatics. They are great to deal with as I have bought from them before. I have been looking for one of these for quite a while. Whenever they have appeared in the last few years they have brought spirited bidding. I hesitated briefly with this coin thinking that perhaps a better one might come along. However, I did not want to wait another 2-3 years so I bought it. It is a far from perfect coin. In fact it is quite worn. However, given how long I waited I will be happy to admit this coin to my collection. Please post your favorite coins of Vespasian, Titus, or Domitian. Vespasian AR Denarius 20 Dec 69 CE to early 70 CE 18 mm 3.25 g Obv: IMP CAESAR VESPASIANVS AVG; laureate head of Vespasian r Rev: TITVS ET DOMITIAN CAES PRIN IV; Titus and Domitian seated left on curule chairs, each holding a branch RIC 6 Purchased from Germania Inferior Numismatics on Vcoins June 14, 2019 Report this Post to the Staff

orfew Pillar of the Community Canada 1269 Posts	Posted 06/14/2019 9:30 pm The coin is actually scarcer than I thought. It is not a denarius struck in Rome. Instead it is a rarer issue struck in Lugdunum (Lyon). A friend of mine spotted the error and let me know. The error was in the seller's attribution. This coin has an obverse legend that is different from the Rome mint examples. Here is the updated attribution. Vespasian AR Denarius 71 CE 18 mm 3.25 g Obv: IMP CAESAR VESPASIANVS AVG TR P; laureate head of Vespasian r Rev: TITVS ET DOMITIAN CAESARES PRIN IVEN; Titus and Domitian seated left on curule chairs, each holding a branch RIC 1124 (R) Purchased from Germania Inferior Numismatics on Vcoins June 14, 2019 Report this Post to the Staff
